Once You Start Getting Embarrassed That People Know You're A JW It's 2 Late

for many new witnesses, there was a certain pride associated with being "a jehovah's witness".

they loved telling people they couldn't salute the flag, vote, take blood, have a hangover, have oral sex....you get the idea.

once it dawns on jws how dumb and ridicouolus they sound, it's the beginning of the end.

Hi there

Someone here mentioned not being able to have oral sex.

Now there is a place that no elder has a RIGHT to go.

The bible does NOT give sex instructions(how to) it ONLY says WHO you can and cant do it with,example male with female but not male with male or female with animal or sister with brother etc,.

Where do they have the biblical justification to intefere in the marital bedroom???

There is none.

Cripes you may as well stay SINGLE if even in MARRIAGE there is a whole long list of do,s and dont,s.

I wonder HOW any JW couple ever has any marital bliss adspecially the women except for the ones who do it anyway and ignore the bedroom council.

hi folks.. i have been lurking on and off for about 2 years now and before i did post a couple threads under my old alias but it wont accept it for some reason so i had to re-join.. anyway there was a singles site called jwsingles.net by a nice fellow who wanted to help other lonely jw single folks meet but he is about to shut it down despite some success stories which i guess makes the elders upset.. i had joined two years ago and was on the mailing list(i,ve been inactive for about 5 years now)thats the short version,anyway,i got this e-mail from him the other day and it really infuriated me because he did nothing wrong but again the organization wants to control every aspect of their lives,including not letting jw,s put up harmless websites for singles to meet.after all in many many congregations there is a severe shortage of available singles right?and,if they dont even want you to look for a mate in their own organization (on the net) then they will look outside of the organization but i guess they are too dense to understand that.. his letter wreaks of guilt and he hangs his head in shame at congregations.i fail to see how he has stumbled others here.its none of others business what adult jw,s want to meet someone.. i understand the heartache of being all alone for many many years with no one and no suitable mates there as they were too stuffy and i felt like i could never match up no matter how hard i tried.i shed too many tears to count as im sure many here have as well.. anyway here is the e-mail.. greetings friends.. this will most likely be the last message you recieve from jw singles.net.. the site has been running for several years now with its main goal to help those of like faith find and if they wish contact each other.we,ve met that goal with several success stories.im very glad to say that an old friend of mine from a congregation in maryland met a wonderful sister from california.after months of phone calls and trips and bible studies over the phone,they were married.both are extremely happy with their new mates.. there are other stories the friends have shared when asking to have their profiles removed.. however i cannot continue to justify the site against the councel of the wbt society.i am tired of sinking in my seat at assemblies and conventions when they mention websites to avoid.it is also not my place to second guess the faithful and discreet salve and the connection they have with jehovahs spirit in guiding the organization in these last days.while i believe that with proper theocratic guidelines this site can be used ,like many have demonstrated to a good cause,i will not possibly stumble my brothers and sisters.. i have thought of selling the site to help recoup the expenses i incurred while developing and running the site ,but again i dont want the responsibility of passing it off to someone else,possibly a wordly company or person.. after the last paying members subscription has run out,i will open the full site with access to every member .this will be the last chance to try and contact some of the 2000 members we have.right now im targeting september as the final month the site will run.our information on the site will be deleted as the database of users is erased.if you care to make a donation of any size while the site is still open to everyone our paypal address is _________ or contact me for a mailing address.. thanks to all those who have tried to help and build the idea i had into a functioning and useful program.i wish you all well and continued strenght in this time of the end.all of the friends are tired and are struggling just to make it to meetings instead of staying home with a headache or working a little late.be upbuilding to each other ,help to show love amongst ourselves and continue to walk with god until the end.. agape.

I can certainly understand your frustration Nosferatu. I,ve been very angry not only with the organization but God himself.I think I,ve probably called him every name in the book,LOL

By the way is Nosferatu the Dracula movie from Europe?

I seen the original and the remake.

What a brilliant vampire movie!

And what scenery,set in old Euorope with the old castles.

P.s,,,I did NOT join the organization just to marry.You dont even know me.

Also the fact that I was TERRIBLY alone was NOT the only reason I left.

There are other reasons.

By the way I wont repsond to you anymore about me because I,ve defended my feelings for too many years and Im plain worn out to be judged any further.No energy left adspecially to some person on cyber space who does not even know me or what I,ve been through. I need not explain myself to you or justify WHY I was on the JW site.(as an inactive NOT disfellowshipped person)

Thanks

JW,s First of all Im a SHE not HE.

Second of all I was INACTIVE yes! NOT disfellowshipped and what is the society,s councel in INACTIVE ones? To keep exorting them as a brother(or sister) they are WEAK and need encouragement.I went to the JW singles site for ENCOURAGEMENT because I got NONE here ok? I also made GIRLFRIENDS there,I was not just looking for a mate(which is natural by the way)

Third You have only read 2 of my posts,Im very new here and you dont know me from beans yet you SOUND just like the judgemental,know it all,critical minds that I needed to escape from.

Think what you like of me(you dont even know me,lol) I dont care. Jehovah knows my limits,YOU do not!

Hi folks.

Freewillly I got your e-mail,Im looking for what you asked ,(Im very busy building my business,I was always an AMBITIOUS female,the JW,s did not like that)Nosferatu that was very nice of you to send Brian that e-mail for all the good it will do though.

For the person(forget which one) who said that Brian is using The Society as a cop out,I THINK what he REALLY means is the stuffy,nose in the air attitude that he is getting from the brothers and sisters in the congregation.They found out what he was doing and we ALL KNOW how much JW,s love to butt in other people,s business.They are making him feel GUILTY.Its 100% pure garbage!!

The really laughable part is MOST of the stuck up guilt mongers are HAPPILY MARRIED JW,S!!!! They dont give a hoot about any single persons happiness.

When I think that I gave up TWO not one chance at happiness because of the org I can scream. I had two worldy options for marriage when I was a JW(no one asked me out in 7 years,not even a date)The one guy I knew many years back when I worked in his dads factory.He was together mentally ,emotionally ,physically and financially.A real catch.He was not CONTROLLING like so many of the men at the congregation and he appreciated my strong mind and independent spirit.He is now married to someone else.After two years he gave up.Then I met another wonderful man years later.I too brushed him off cause I was SCARED of being SHUNNED. I cant go back and undo the damage.It really hurts sometimes.

Yep single JW,s are up against a real wall. They could actually learn from other churches that have SINGLE DANCES and SINGLE PICNICS and SINGLE PARENTS DAYS and LONEY WIDOW AND WIDOWER brunches like my old Catholic church does.(I was raised Catholic) and let me tell you there are more kind,loving people there than in the stuffy JW congregations where I come from.They all have their own little clicks.Single men did not even want to give me a ride to the hall when My car was down(a single struggling sister) for FEAR something immoral might happen yet men from other churches say HEY! This sister needs a ride to Gods house! I will go and pick her up! What a difference between JW,s and others.

Thats been my experience anyway for many years.

Im also seen as spiritually weak,I was disfellowshipped before,went back,I also have disfellowshipped relatives.I dont stand a chance at ever meeting someone there. :( Im a UNWORTHY piece of garbage as far as their concerned.

OH thank you!

LOL

I thought I was losing my mind! :)

IM from Canada too,I guess I,ll make up my profile.

And yes singles are doomed no matter what.If there are no suitable mates and your not ALLOWED to date worldy folks your in a pitiful situation and they just dont understand HUMAN NEEDS.They SUCK at it! Just read your bible and pray.Well after so many years and hard knocks and sorrow it just dont work anymore.You NEED human contact.I always had such a great social life in the world,lots of friends,then I joined the org and POOF! I was all alone.The congregations that I belonged to were all FAMILIES and relatives.I got invited to go bowling once a year.I never got asked out by any brother and Im NOT ugly.I cried way too much to stay anymore.The rejection killed me but that was only part of why I drifted away.There is so much more.I,ll tell it sometime.

Thanks again and its nice to meet you.

Hi folks.

I have been lurking on and off for about 2 years now and before I did post a couple threads under my old alias but it wont accept it for some reason so I had to re-join.

Anyway there was a singles site called JWsingles.net by a nice fellow who wanted to help other lonely JW single folks meet but he is about to shut it down despite some SUCCESS stories which I guess makes the elders UPSET.

I had joined two years ago and was on the mailing list(I,ve been inactive for about 5 years now)Thats the SHORT version,anyway,I got this e-mail from him the other day and it really infuriated me because he did nothing wrong but again the Organization wants to CONTROL every aspect of their lives,including NOT letting JW,s put up harmless websites for singles to meet.After all in many many congregations there is a severe SHORTAGE of available singles right?And,If they dont even want you to look for a mate in their OWN organization (on the net) then they will look OUTSIDE of the organization but I guess they are too dense to understand that.

His letter wreaks of GUILT and he hangs his head in shame at congregations.I fail to see HOW he has stumbled others here.Its none of others business what ADULT JW,s want to meet someone.

I understand the heartache of being all alone for many many years with no one and no suitable mates there as they were too stuffy and I felt like I could never match up no matter how hard I tried.I shed too many tears to count as Im sure many here have as well.

Anyway here is the e-mail.

Greetings friends.

This will most likely be the last message you recieve from JW Singles.net.

The site has been running for several years now with its main goal to help those of like faith find and if they wish contact each other.We,ve met that goal with several success stories.Im very glad to say that an old friend of mine from a congregation in Maryland met a wonderful sister from California.After months of phone calls and trips and bible studies over the phone,they were married.Both are extremely happy with their new mates.

There are other stories the friends have shared when asking to have their profiles removed.

However I cannot continue to justify the site against the councel of the WBT society.I am tired of sinking in my seat at assemblies and conventions when they mention websites to avoid.It is also not my place to second guess the faithful and discreet salve and the connection they have with Jehovahs spirit in guiding the organization in these last days.While I believe that with proper theocratic guidelines this site can be used ,like many have demonstrated to a good cause,I will not possibly stumble my brothers and sisters.

I have thought of selling the site to help recoup the expenses I incurred while developing and running the site ,but again I dont want the responsibility of passing it off to someone else,possibly a wordly company or person.

After the last paying members subscription has run out,I will open the full site with access to every member .This will be the last chance to try and contact some of the 2000 members we have.Right now Im targeting September as the final month the site will run.Our information on the site will be deleted as the database of users is erased.If you care to make a donation of any size while the site is still open to everyone our paypal address is _________ or contact me for a mailing address.

Thanks to all those who have tried to help and build the idea I had into a functioning and useful program.I wish you all well and continued strenght in this time of the end.All of the friends are tired and are struggling just to make it to meetings instead of staying home with a headache or working a little late.Be upbuilding to each other ,help to show love amongst ourselves and continue to walk with God until the end.

Agape
